Personal Trainer San Diego - Iron Orr Fitness

Iron Orr gym is fantastic. State of the art equipment allows me to work out my body and whip into the shape I desire. Trainers are always on sight to assist and for hire. Best gym ever.

This gym here has been nothing short of amazing. From the welcoming trainers to the community that I can connect with in between sets, I look forward to coming here everyday no matter how tired I am by the end of the day. I love it here and it’s a meathead’s dream.

It’s been a pleasure working with Jay for almost ten sessions! He is very professional, patient, and comfortable to work with. I appreciate all the advice Jay has given me to help me reach my goal!

Love this place! Very clean and well equipped.And most important, I achieved and continue to achieve great results with personal training.

Amazing trainers with a wealth of experience and great coaching! Jay and Tim in particular are absolutely awesome

I recently started training with Jay Silva at Iron Orr fitness. The gym where the training occurs is a nice facility- spacious, clean, and contains an excellent range of exercise equipment. Only complaint about the facility is the lack of a true changing room/locker room.The staff of Iron Orr fitness are all friendly and professional. For this review, however, I want to focus on the excellence of my trainer, Jay Silva. He is the best trainer I’ve ever had. He is knowledgeable, attentive, and friendly. He truly listens to what I have to say about my goals and expectations. More importantly, he has been completely engaged during our entire sessions. He constantly assesses my form during the exercises to minimize any potential injuries. His attitude is perfect- he challenges me but not to a level where I feel too sore or exhausted the next day. He is always encouraging, and I always look forward to our next sessions without ambivalence or dread. Without reservation, I highly recommend Jay for anyone looking for an ideal trainer.

My personal trainer at Iron Orr fitness was John Callaghan and he was amazing!John was genuinely invested in supporting me through my physical fitness journey without the slightest form of judgment. He helped me understand how my body worked and what factors affected our fat/muscle ratio. He also helped me plan out my daily meals and track my calorie intake and even provided science-backed suggestions to help me with my sleep. He was extremely patient with me while still holding me accountable and allowed me to get the best workout I possibly could in every session. I was able to safely learn work out techniques I have never tried before. John also took the time to make every session interesting and really helped me stay motivated. Moreover, he was very easy to talk to and I always looked forward to our sessions. Over time, my confidence grew and I became much healthier both physically and mentally.I highly recommend John as a personal trainer. Anyone can show you how to work out but John takes personal training to the next level. He has an impressive depth of knowledge about physical fitness and nutrition and an impressive ability to teach his knowledge and skills to people, tailoring each class to their specific needs at any given time. Before I left, John helped me plan out a workout regimen I can easily follow to maintain my physical fitness. My experience from the start to the end has been outstanding - thank you John and Iron Orr fitness!

[October 2022 Update] Mom has been working out with Abby Pech the last few months and Abby has become her absolute favorite trainer so far (amongst many she tried at Iron Orr). Abby has been incredibly adaptive to the specific needs of my mom based on some of the injuries that my mom's had over the years. In addition to the amazing training skills that Abby displays, she's very friendly and has been very thoughtful also during COVID. She ensures that she wears a mask and also sanitizes the surfaces before my mom uses them. Highly recommend Iron Orr for fitness needs and Abby if you are looking for a fab trainer.My mom started working with Matthew Frankfurth recently and has seen tremendous success with her knee/core strength and stability (Especially during winter here). Matthew ensures he strikes the right balance between my mom's ability (based on her past mdicial conditions) as well as getting stronger and issue-free in the future. My mom trains 3 times a week and she now looks forward to go to gym more than anything else. We just enrolled her for another set of classes. Thanks Matthew for the great job & soon it'll be my turn to train at Iron Orr too :)

Abby is the best trainer I have ever met. I hurt my back and knee a few years ago. I had no idea how should I protect myself or what I should do in a gym until I met my trainer Abby. My workouts are well-planned based on my goals. Abby asks about my feedback in each session and adjusts the strength, movements, and even background music! I am always motivated, and every session is the right amount of challenge and so much fun!Abby pays great attention to my form and explained every movement in detail - the goals, targeted muscles, and mistakes to avoid. Her suggestions are always easy to understand, and easy to follow.With Abby's help, I lost weight and gain muscles. What's more important, I established confidence, the correct form of movements, and know how to protect myself in future workouts. If you are thinking about personal training with Iron Orr, choose Abby!And the gym is also very well maintained and very clean!

I started working out with John Callaghan almost a year ago. Now +100 sessions later I can honestly say starting to go to Iron Orr and having met John has been one of my best decisions in the past couple years. John is very analytical with impressive knowledge in sports, anatomy, metabolism and much more. With his help we have modified and perfected my food intake, workout, overall activity level, sleep, water intake and much more.My appreciation to what John has done for me can not be put into words. In terms of being a personal trainer he is on a different scale of expertise. On top of all of this, I think of John as a friend, and sometime a great advisor on life topics. To be honest if I don't go in for a week, I begin to miss both the workout and spending time with John.Thanks Iron Orr for bringing in such a talent from overseas! I'm in for the long ride with John directing it.
